Be it known that I, ALBAN B. Bo'rsEoRD, a

- citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the countyof Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and use-l fulImprovements in Cases for Hypodermic Syringes; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description Aot theinvention, such as will enable others is to provide the same withcertain new and useful features hereinafter Inore fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the claini,reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of adevice embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a plan vieWot' the same with part0E the cap C broken away, and Fig. 3 a transverse vertical section ofthe same on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Like letters refer to like parts in all of the figures.

My improved case consists, essentially, of three cylindrical vesselsarranged with their axes in the same plane and secured to each other.The middle cylinderA is of su'l'tlcient size to inclose the syringe Gand is provided with a screw-cap @having a packing E, of cork, rubber,or other suitable material, which packing engages the upper en d of saidcylintion at all times.

vside cylinders F F are shorter than the iniddle cylinder A, and are solocated that their caps D D are engaged and held in place by theopposite sides of the screw-cap C. Annular stops I are provided, whichengage the coupling of the needles and prevent their points from comingin contact with the bottoms of the inclosing cylinders.

What I claim is- The combination of a central cylindrical vessel tocontain the syringe, together with a liquid, parallel side Vesselsattached thereto to contain the needles and having removable caps, and ascrew-cap on said central vessel having packing to seal the same andengaging said side caps, substantially as described. In testimonywhereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
